What I Heard

These writings are a collection of my notes from Churches all over. You will find similarities but not many. The Bible covers everything :)!

Isaiah 43

@hillsongNYC: Tonight #eXchange is at St. George (16 & Rutherford pl) we have ONE (1) service at 7.30pm.. So the only option is how early to get there..

1 Corinthians 4:6 (offering)

It's all about Grace!

Message!!!

Isaiah 43: 13-19

God told Israel don't forget to remember.

God wants you to know He is going to come through for you.

God ran down the list of Miracles for the Israelites.

Do you remember when you were in captivity?

Do you remember when you had no hope?

Do you remember?

Do you remember what I did to your past enemies?

You forgot!

You forgot who you were!

You forgot what God has done for you!

You entered into a stupid phase

You need to never forgot to remember.

God wants you to remember!

God wants you to get out of your stupid phase and remember Him.

The context changed and you couldn't remember who God was.

A new environment.

Stop thinking about the enemy, problems, fear, the past

Remember, remember, remember, then forget!

Use the fuel of the past but don't live in the past.

Put away the former things, do not dwell on the past, God is doing a new thing!

God has a miracle for you!

God wants you to chose

Remember who He is in the relation to who you are!

Remember the stupid faith!

Remember who God wants to be for us!

Forget everything we have lost, so we can prepare for what He wants to Usher in our lives.

God is not waiting... We are living in the midst of chaos and beauty!

God is birthing the future in our souls!

Through the pain and agony of it's birth!

I forgot! I never want to forget again! Except to remember to forget!

God let your life slip away. If your hands are on the past you cannot hold on to the future.

God is always materializing the invisible!

Make your way through the dessert!

The owls and the jackals will get it will you?

Nature understands, do you?

Isaiah 43

God says fear not, I have redeemed you...

Remember!

God creates a future through a people who will trade fear and doubt with faith and trust!

Ephesians 3:20

God is able

Have you been in a situation that you cannot do anything about the situation.

Somethings in life you cannot not change.

If you know God, God is Able!

He is able to heal, change things that have no business being changed.

God is able to repair and take you further than you ever know.

God is able.

Ephesians 3:20

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we can ask or think according to the power at work with in us.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Ephesians 3:20 KJV)

Work like it is up to me but believe like it is up to God.

3 things because God is able:

Do you believe He is able?

1. You are able to dream bigger

When you share your dream and If people laugh at you, say thank you for validating my dream!

Do the impossible!

God is able so dream like it!

Go dream something you cannot do on your own! Dream Bigger!!!

Start living! God is going to breath on what you put in front of him.

2. You get to live with PASSION.

How can you follow Jesus without passion.

It's like having a million dollars in your account and keep forgetting the password.

Get passionate about the things of God and it will change everything!

Passion keeps you seeing opportunities that others missed.

Let this season be where you live with passion.

3. You get to live with urgency!

Changes the games for everyone.

You can do great things now!

Passion and urgency is not about you!

God is able!!!

Life is but a mere vapor!

God is either completely able or not able at all!

Nothing can be against you!

Changing Change: Luke 24:36

Follow Jesus...

Christianity is all about Jesus and Jesus is all about Change.

Jesus change not!

Jesus does not need to change so he can spend his time changing you!

Jesus is the greatest agent of change in the earth.

Christianity

Marriage only works and evolve if you change!

What if we change the way we go about the way of change!

Luke 24:36-53

In eternity in our glorified bodies there will be food.

"Holy spirit must opening your understanding so that you can understand the Bible

Luke 24:45"

Two Biblical words: Belongs to the church: Repentance & Remission

Repentance -look again

1. Realization =is a gift! You have a savior and his name is Jesus. The Holy spirit of God shares.

2. Returning= re gives you power to turn. There is no power in just turn.

Jesus change people.

Remission =forgiveness

Not remorse and resolution and not relief and regrouping.

The more you obsess over change the less you change.

The more you want to change you don't.

You don't have the power for true transformation.

How does repentance works?

Jesus said Repent = look again = realization.

People think that repentance is remorse. When you don't change or you don't understand you feel bad. "wrong"

Romans 2

Do you not know it is the goodness of God that leads people to repentance.

You will only change when you realize that there is a God who is obsessed with you, who loves you, and who is calling you.

Luke 24 is the mission/door on hinges of preachers and bible scholars.

When you preach,

Remove

Psalm 22 As far as the east is from the west. God removed your sins. Jesus died years ago. Jesus died for your sins that you commit next year.

No one is changing! It's because of fear and misunderstanding! God is for you.

Quit living like you are in close proximity to your sins

You can't re-punish for something that's already been punished.

In Government it's Double Jeopardy!

He (God) crushed his son on a cross for you. Jesus died as you on that cross.

Colossians 3:10 when God sees you he sees his son. He loves you!

Proverbs

Falling 7 times, Get up again and keep doing what God has called you to do.

Hebrews 3 you are who you are by the grace of God!

You are free now, Live like it!

Hope: When God says But!

If your soul prosper everything else prospers? (where)

Taught on soul! Emotions, Sense of Identity, etc

Good thing to make sure the soul is healthy

The unseen is more real than the seen!

John 10:10

Enemy comes to kill steal and destroy!

Hope gets you through!

When there is hope there is joy!

Exodus 15:9

The enemy boast!

Exodus 15:10

When God says But! It's going to speak hope into your situation.

A miracle on the way!

Age 12 we ask ourselves sub-conscience:

Am I accepted? Yes or no

Am I good enough or pretty enough? Yes or no

Am I loved? Yes or no if no then,

Am I loveable?

But God:

Psalms 73

Acts 2

Old testament a shadow image of the new testament.

Sometimes the scariest place to be is in the middle of your miracle.

Your identity is in Christ

Numbers 33:5-50 traveling in the wilderness.

Numbers 33:53 Take Possession of the Land!

Ephesians 2:1-7 This world and the next!

God is an eternal God!

August 27, 2012

Matthew 5:1

Climb

The higher that we climb the more refreshing.

We don't deserve, learn to enjoy the climb. We will have an ease that no one else will have.

1. Surrender your plans

-Trust the Heart of God

2. Surrender your Baggage

-a trade off it's so much better

-In order to climb you née your hands free.

-Worrying is a Sin!

-My job is to be free so I can help everyone else be free.

Rejection is Gods protection!

August 21, 2012

Be wise the rest of your life

Proverbs 19:20

Hear council and receive instruction that you may be wise the rest of your life.

Be in a place that you can be taught.

Some people the "know it alls" talk a Lot & know everything about nothing...

And then they are not open to council and instruction.

We all have blind spots. Others can see what you can't.

God is Protection. When we stay close to God he protect us.

Romans 13:1-2 all authorities come from God.

The moment we leave Gods protection we are fair gain for the Devil.

Rebellion means...

-Is: the principal and natural tendency of Satan.

-1 out of 3 angels the devil convinced to rebel against God.

-Apostasy, insubordination, uprising,

-The devil has come down with great wrath because his time is short.

But God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path!

Hebrews 3:6, 10,12

The dangers of being in rebellion...

Hearts become evil and unbelief, and sin/rebel against God.

It makes room for the Devil himself to come in and deceive you.

Numbers 12 Moses leading God's people!

Aaron and Miriam brother and sister of Moses speaks against him.

Then Miriam breaks out in leprosy.

God speaks to Moses face to face, and everyone else with dreams and visions.

Moses prayed for her and through prayer and intercession God healed Miriam.

Moses was up against the world.

Rebels have a way of finding each other, gossips finds other gossips.

Bad company corrupts good habits.

Bitterness spreads and it can poison you.

Know your facts... Stop listening to negative people.

The wages of sin is death.

Warn each other...

We miss Gods provision when we allow distractions.

Be careful!!!

God resist the proud and helps the humble!

True humility is total dependence on God!

When we become under authority things begin to happen.

A gentile believes God. A story within the four Gospels.

When you are under authority

-it's a faith that produces miracles

-Produce vision

-Protection

-Support of the Lord, encouragement

-Council, instruction, wisdom

What current Authorities in our lives:

-Gods word above all

--daily God and council

-Government

-Parents, Guardians Ephesians 5:6

--obey God rather than man

-Husband

-Teachers

-Police

-Flight Attendant

-Bus Driver

-Ministry Leader

Etc...

All human leaders have faults and limitations we must pray for them!

1timothy 2:1-4

God and the authority makes the majority!

August 17, 2012

Bringing Back Your First Love:

The idea of doing something you never done before.

Jesus -your first love

Encouraged to find your first love!

The entire church as a whole in Love with Jesus!

Revelations 2:2

I know your deeds, your hard work and perseverance!

Repent and do things you have done at first!

Galatians 1:6

I'm astonished that you so quickly deserting the one called you to live in the grace...

2 things to be weary of:

1. Easily distracted

2. Easily offended

First starting a relationship...nothing goes wrong.

You missing the point...easily offended or distracted

2 things to put on

1. Glasses of Gratitude

Be Thankful!!!!

It probably wasn't God but maybe you should thank God for everything!

Imagine we were a people that can appreciate God at all times.

To have an attitude of gratitude is so much Better!

2. Glasses of Grace

It probably hurts but Love anyway!

Jesus looks at you and He loves you, even when you sin.

Bad things happen, But see life through the eyes of Love!

You have to believe God's eyes of love and gratitude are upon me.

He looks at you through it all, and Loves you through it all. The ups and downs.

Come back to your first Love! Jesus loved you enough to die for you! Get to know Him!

The only one that can feel that void is JESUS!

August 15, 2012

Using your gift to make room for you!

What's going to be meaningful in my life?

Rejection happens.

How it all interface with money, markets and businesses as a whole.

Some integration... A life style where money is of little issue.

Education of millionaires: entrepreneurs

Intergrating with Passion and living confortably.

20% This is the Great depression for college graduates under 25.

Leadership. Communicate pursuassively

Nuts and bolts of leadership! Reading books

80% of leadership comes from being a leader.

August 13, 2012

Let's thunder for each other.

The enemy comes to steal kill and destroy! That is his purpose.

Tell that mountain to move, get away!

Fully surrender your life to God! Let go of fear and intrepidation

Sometimes we let our friends hold us back.

Sometimes we take that a little too far.

We allow the friendship to get in the way with our friendship with our heavenly father.

If you cherish your friend and friendship. Surrender to God and you will be the friend they need.

We can come boldly to God. Knowing that we belong there!

The gates of hell are open...

But the gates of hell will not prevail!

Make a declaration!

The Devil, Satan, only "purpose"! Everyone has a "purpose"! He wants to kill you spiritually but in doing that he will kill you physically.

God has a plan for good for you with an expectant end!

You need the plans of God for your life!

August 11, 2012

Luke 5:1-2

Story of Simon:

Jesus was being pressed to the scene near the waters edge of the sea of Galilee.

Jesus saw Simon

This one man needs did not escape Gods eye. You have not gotten lost

God has not forgotten you!

I'm His favorite! You are His favorite! If no one else sees you, we serve a God who sees you!

Isaiah 59:2

He cares about every detail of your life.

God has a lot of Kids and you are like the first one! Extra special! Extra and above taken care of!

Simon got out of the Boat!

Luke 5:3

Simon was fishing all night and he was done for the evening.

Simon washed his net meaning he had every intention of using it again.

Wash your net, that's what's church is about! Dirty business of getting on you knees and fully prepared to deal with our issues and get back to work to what God is going to do.

Jesus Got into the boat!

The very thing Simon got out of, Jesus got into!

Everything that has happened in your life God allowed.

God will have you push out a bit in shallow water and it will be just you and Jesus.

God sees you and the season you want to skip over God will use it to get the Glory!

God sovereign! Stood before time and saw all the way to the end.

Psalm 46:10

Be still and Know that I am God

God allowed an emptiness so he can fill that void!

God margins!

God calls us to things that are impossible! Our own talents and abilities are not enough.

Luke 5:5-7 they had more than enough!

The shallow was for everyone else! The deep water is for you! Feeling like you are in over your head. Go!

You will see what it looks like to see a miracle!

Epistemology - a branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, nature, methods, and limits of human knowledge.-it's not what you know, but how you know what you know!?

Under Siege 3 #ShutYourMouth

Part 1 Daniel 1:1-8

Chose Character over Compromise!

Refuse to isolate ourselves get in the word and around the people.

Part 2 Daniel

Challenges often repeat themselves!

***Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. (1 Corinthians 10:12 KJV)

When you think you are strong be careful you don't fall...

Part 3 #ShutYourMouth Daniel 6:3-10

A habit: an acquired practice

Some good, some bad!

Daniel had a habit of praying and seeking God!

2 habits we need to have like Daniel:

1. We need A habit of seeking God First.

2. Serve God no matter what!

Matthew 6:6

Pray in secret...

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (Matthew 6:6 KJV)

Allow conviction to shape the response in life!

I want to worship in Secret! I want to Praise in Secret!

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10 KJV)

Be still and know that I am God!

The power of Getting away and seeking God!

What ever we magnify in our life gets bigger! When we magnify Jesus the more He gives us perspective!

Dont allow circumstances to shape my convictions

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33 KJV)

Be a God Seeker not an attention Seeker!

People who Seek God first are:

Unafraid, worship more than worry, conquer the very thing that tries to conquer them... Etc...

Seek the one that sought after you!

What's your first response?

Where do you go who do you turn to?

***Your first response locates your heart!***

Daniel was a God seeker even when he doesn't understand.

Daniel 6:13-16

Seeking God and serving God goes hand in hand!

Colossians 3:23 whatever you do, do with all your heart, working for the Lord not human masters!

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23, 24 KJV)

No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17 KJV)

August 2, 2012

Relationships

Daniel 1: 1-8

Message Title: Under Siege

8V. But the Hebrew Boys, Daniel asked for veggies and fruit... The kings offered them that was given to idols

Christianity is not a crutch for weak people, not some problem free philosophy...

Christianity is problem Full! But this journey of faith moving forward with our creator God we don't have to face problems alone

It's more than a religion

John 4:6

No one comes through the father but by me <- Jesus!

Under siege - felt the need to talk different, blend in, pressured to do as society does...

***When you find your self under siege in life never lose sight of your creator... When you lose sight of your creator you lose sight of who you're created to be.

Daniel was taken from his home at a young age and forced to learn a new language, a new way of life.

So often we find ourselves under siege: society says: why you believe in God so much, its okay not to read your bible, its ok to believe in other Gods, it's okay to drink a lot, it's ok to skip church, you go to church twice a week, why?

The idea is to isolate you, capture you, make you feel pressured to give in and get you conformed!

Romans

Don't conform to the world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.

The Bible is the best way to renew your mind!!!! <-Hands Down!

John 15:5

Jesus is the vine...we are the branches

We must stay connected!

The longer you walk with God the more you realize that you are nothing without him.

Those who conform wake up lost and unsatisfied!

New season: We MuST chose Character over Compromise!

Daniel was more concerned about his character than his reputation!

Character is keeping promises even when it inconveniences you! Doing the right thing when no one is watching, is giving without collateral, is spending time with the sick, the homeless, uplifting children!

***Character is a daily choice- Shaped by how we respond to the victories and valleys we face in life, and revealed through conflict and confrontations that arise.

Cultivate Character:

Learn the unforced rhythm of saying NO!

Daniel exercised his right to say no!

Knowing it's okay to say no and stop trying to please everybody.

NO- is not a weak word.

Collossians -

if I pleased everybody I wouldn't be a servant of Jesus!

There is a freedom...there is nothing wrong with not having all the answers.

No I won't put my job before my family.

If you aim to please people you will drift from Jesus.

Continue to invite Jesus into every aspect of life and every challenge you face.

Proverbs 3:6

In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

You don't need to pray about if you need to be a good friend or not. SMH!

Pray about Lord I know you have me at this job, but can you help me with seeing what my purpose is? Ask your father he will come to your rescue!

Daniel chose character over compromising!

Daniel was 10 times better than the other men. And when ever the king needed guidance on something he asked for Daniel.

God will equip you!

Matthew 11:22

So often we run as if God don't know what we Are up to, still he is for us

God says don't run, he will give us rest!

God is For Us!!!!

July 11, 2012

A Problem called Praise

A weapon in your worship that can change your circumstance.

Your praise is a problem for your problem!

Message for reading the bible: always read different translations at home.

Act 16:25-40

Paul & Silas along about midnight in jail they were singing a praise.

An Earthquake happened.

Don't just pray for you, pray for your whole house.

Someone else's praise can release the people near you!

The person that put them in jail wanted to be saved.

If the devil can't steal your praise he can't steal your future!!!

Your praise is a problem for a Godless culture!

Your praise has to precede (must be more important than) your preference!

Your Preference may to - be promiscuous, be not forgiving, steal, lie...

Psalms 34:1-22

Praise the Lord at all times and Thanksgiving will always be on my lips!

The rocks will cry out! You must Praise!

Raising your hands? You do it at a Concert in excitement. What about excitement for God?

Psalms 143:6-10, 88:9-15

Hands held high

Lamentations 3:41-45

Hands held high

God doesn't need our praise. He has angels, other living things..., BUT

Reminding our spirit and soul of who God is! That's why we worship with everything we do!

Praise God because he is going to do more than you think He is going to do!

Gods the same today, yesterday and forevermore. FAITHFUL!!!

People stop praising God because they get upset.

***You are doing a lot better than you think you are.

The enemy wants you to focus on the struggle and not focus on all God has done.

You must give thanks to God! A problem called praise! Gods going to do a lot more for you than you can ever think of!

Bring your ordinary sinner self to the alter and God uses his supernatural power to change you. Using just who you are!

He's going to do more with your calling and anointing over your life, more in your city, more in your life, just give it all to him!

Praise!

Your praise is a Problem!

Ephesians 3:20 exceedingly and abundantly above.

Unleash this problem where ever you go! God is going to MOVE!

Matthew 6:13

There where your treasure is, that is where your heart is!

July 8, 2012

Mark 3:13

Jesus went up on a mountain!

One life fully engaged can change a nation. (Leader)

God is going to change entire cities!

Whether you feel like it or not you are a leader!

We have a Mandate to disciple nations! When we got saved!

Jesus calls people to himself, he was calling leaders!

Calling believers to change the mentality of the leaders!

You are the Head not the tail. You are a leader not a follower!

Wake up every morning and say I am called to lead!

"I am not along for the ride in society, I am the one to set the directions!"

That's why we need believers in news, as teachers, in politics etc...! As a child of God I have a say in what happens.

He stuck you in that field of study because you are in to set the course. We have abandoned and fled politics because we don't believe we are to set the course.

Everyone is called!

Everyone has a calling, the issue is whether or not you respond.

Matthew 22

Many are called, few are chosen!

You follow a God called the all consuming fire!

God don't want only 10% he wants it all! He will take it all if he wants it.

***When you say yes to God, it takes everything you have!

You have to count the cost to follow Jesus!

Luke 14: 25-33

Whoever of you who do not forsake all he has, cannot be my disciple.

The father sent me so I sent you!

You must be willing to forsake everything! If your Christianity cost you something it's worth something!

For joy!

When you understand what you get in return, you will have joy!

You must be engaged and embrace the call to lead! If you are working on saving a nation!

God does not Barter!

It's so important that everything is surrendered to him because that's when he takes your life and multiply everything in it!

Wake up every morning

"I am called to lead!"

It requires everything you have!

God fed 5,000 with 5 loaves of Bread and 2 pieces of fish. God could have taken one fish and one of the five loaves of bread. But he took all of it. God wants all of you, not part of you!

Those who are chosen told God: "Yes"!

July 2, 2012

Matthew 9:9-13

Food in Our Culture

Food is designed to bring us together.

17% of families eat together

Roman Culture - week long feast

The bible is full of food.

Genesis- Fruit

Exodus

Leviticus

Isaiah 25, 55

Luke 22

Matthew 22

Luke 14

***8 great debates rabbis question Jesus! ***Controversies

How the pharisees used Food - bringing death and oppression. The Pharisees used food as a a way to exclude

Tax collectors - Romans because of their generational sins had to end up paying taxes in their promised land. Jewish people collecting taxes for a foreign king.

Sinners- The Roman empire disregarded the levitical law - (the holiest of holy people. ) they invented a new law called "temple of holiness" and everyone had to abide by it. Poor people could not match up also known as the "sinners" in the scripture.

The sinners were reminded 3X a day that they are not important while they ate and that God hated them because the poor could not live up to the change law or new law "the levitical law" that had nothing to do with God.

That's why jesus came. To change the guidelines people "The Roman Empire" created and to reestablish his fathers laws and kingdom.

Jesus Dangerous use of meals!

"Mercy, Justice and Faithfulness" the most important! - in scripture.

If you are reading the bible and not getting hungry something is wrong.

The book of Luke Jesus eats!

Story of the Gospels is a story of meals.

Jesus sought and served sinners by eating and drinking.

***Fasting gives way to Feast!

Acts 10

Peter gets a vision of God. God lays down food. God expands the menu. He expands the kingdom. Cultural impact when Peter went to the Gentiles to offer the gift of eternal life.

Meals of a feast of Grace!

The love of the people!!! Captivating!!!

Food is God's great welcome to sinners!

Matthew 8:10-11

Isaiah 55: 1-2

Come you who are thirsty... You without money. You will find delight.

God wants to save you the heartache, laboring for food that won't last.

Day in and day out working on Jobs w/o God. 9-5

The prodigal son when he returned a feast was prepared. In his honor because he returned home. When we return to God that's what he does for us.

Meals are invitation to relationship

Revelations 19:9

Church notes:

1. Hillsongnyc can Shake this city by who you chose to eat with.

Homes need to be hospitals

Dinner table needs to be the operating table.

Newyork is a lonely place (invest and invite) coffee, lunch etc...

Share the Gospel people eat 3X a day! :)

There is a difference

Be kind to the person who hates you take them out let them talk you to death.

Reclaiming a holy indulgence- the church should be the best party!

Isaiah 25: 6-9

Relearn the art of eating and drinking for the Glory of God.

Jesus: the bread of Life.

If you feel like a failure or who ever you are you can be messy, you don't have to pay the bill.

God wants to have dinner with you.

God says come feast on my grace.

June 14, 2012

Matthew 7:24-29

Let the Rain Fall

Jesus need to be your everything.

Your life needs to be built on Jesus!

There is going to be storms. But with God you don't look at the future in fear.

Find shelter in the storm

All things can change, but your dependence on Jesus! The rock!

Let peace be your profile! Not panic.

What if people knew you by your peace?

The reality for you! Everyone around you worried but you are at peace.
